商品簡介
With fewer adults associating themselves exclusively with a certain religion but more identifying themselves as "spiritual," and "seeking," it is clear young people need some sort of moral guidance they cannot, or prefer not, to get within their own homes. Kirby (religious studies, LaMoyne College) understands that spiritual rootlessness is a fact of life and that more are calling for values education outside the home to compensate. Drawing on his experience as a founder and director of the Center for the Advancement of Values Education (CAVE), Kirby describes the development of values education, the research behind it, and the skills required to make this evolving but effective and systematic process work within the required contexts. He describes the leadership, growth processes, structure and institutional support that have helped the CAVE model to succeed, and gives plenty of practical advice for faculty and administrators.
